Fishing can be good in Merchant's. I've only made it over there a couple times this season with mixed results. I did very well in early May and not so good in late July (water temps above 90). The biggest fish I have caught at Merchants is some swamp shellcrackers...

I'll have to check that out. I'm in NE South Carolina. Can't be all that far away. Thanks. How was the fishing, BTW?

No problem Rick, it is a fun destination out in the Dismal Swamp of Northeast North Carolina. It attracts quite a few boaters that are just taking in the sights and sounds. This is a millpond similar to Richmond Mill that you read so much about on this site. Its crowded with more cypress trees but similar.
